Prince Charles making his way into the UN Training School Ireland at the Curragh Camp

He made his way inside where he signed the distinguished visitor's book in the hallway. The Prince was introduced to senior staff and students, including civilian, Irish and British military personnel. He also received a briefing on the Cooperation and Working Together (CAWT) course.

The Prince was then invited to view the Air Corps Emergency Helicopter at Pearse Square where Commandant Jarlath Heneghan and Sergeant David Hennessy gave a short presentation on the various equipment on board.

He seemed laid back and relaxed, but very interested in the aircraft and asked several questions.

He then made his way to a special reception at the Officer’s Mess before departing Kildare.

The whirlwind visit lasted about an hour and roads were closed down in the vicinity as gardai and military personnel manned the surrounding area.
